Some kind of dialogue, whether it's above the counter or | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
below the counter, has to take place with the Assad regime. | :00:27. | :00:31. | |

The Foreign Secretary, Philip Hammond, has rejected | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
the idea of holding talks with President Assad of Syria. | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
He told the BBC there will be no cooperation with the Syrian | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
government, which he He told the BBC there will be no cooperation with | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
the Syrian government, which he called a "ghastly" regime. | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
President Assad, despite the atrocities committed | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
by his regime, Forces Lord Dannatt suggested talks should be held with | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
Tonight, IS forces remain present in large parts of Iraq and Syria. | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
The Syrian government is reported to have killed 70 Islamic State | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
jihadist fighters in the last 48 hours of fighting, near Raqqa. | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
It is going to be a long, hard battle. Kurdish fighters have | :02:38. | :02:51. | |
steadied themselves and are pushing back against Islamic State. Here, | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
they are trying to take back a town from the jihadists. None of the | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
enemies of IS are underestimating the job that lies ahead against | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
highly motivated and well organised Islamic State fighters. American air | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
strikes, launched from carriers, can have a decisive effect, but to hurt | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
IS badly, they would also have to target their power base in northern | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
Syria. That is why some influential voices say it is time to make a deal | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
with President Assad of Syria. On practical grounds, we have to | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
possibly consider taking a deep breath, holding our nose and saying | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
that it would seem to us now that the extremely vicious and evil | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
nature of Islamic State and its objectives are actually worse than | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
what Assad has been doing. It may be one of those situations in history | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
when my enemy's enemy becomes my friend. But the West's mane so far | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
failed strategy for ending the Syrian war includes the departure of | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
President Assad. Britain says it won't change its mind about him. | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
I've said very often that one of the first things you learn in the Middle | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
East is that my enemy's enemy is not necessarily my friend. We may very | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
well find that we are aligned against a common enemy, but that | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
does not make us friends with someone, not able to trust them, not | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
able to work with them. IS currently controls part of Iraq, from below | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
Baghdad in the south to Mosul and Tal Afar in the North. And in | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
Syria, at Abu Kemal in the south and east and up to Aleppo. Their power | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
base is in Raqqa. The US has said whatever it takes, but what are the | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
options in the fight against ISIS? More air strikes is one. But doing | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
that in Syria without the regime's consent would be difficult and | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
dangerous. Another, work with neighbouring states, including Iran. | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
But building a coalition against ISIS involving regional powers means | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
getting tangled in difficult and often bloody local politics. And | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
that is why there is talk about working with President Assad. His | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
Armed Forces have good intelligence and they are well supplied, but his | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
prize would be the end of pressure on him to go. -- his price. A year | :05:13. | :05:21. | |
ago, Syrian slip to camps in Iraq in the face of IS advances. Now, they | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
want as much help as they can to keep them politically safe. But with | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
the Syrian war merging with Iraq's sectarian violence, the challenge | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
facing anyone wanting peace becomes twice as big. Syria's war has been | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
impossible to stop. No one yet has much of a strategy to stop the war | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
in Iraq either. Jeremy Bowen, BBC News. | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
David Cameron is facing more calls from across the political spectrum | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
to do more to combat radicalisation among British Muslims. | :05:55. | :05:56. | |
Critics have argued that neither the Government nor the Muslim | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
community are doing enough to stem the tide of young Britons going out | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
It comes as investigations continue into the death of American | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
Journalist James Foley, apparently at the hands of a British extremist. | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
Just some of the young British Muslims who have travelled to Iraq | :06:09. | :06:25. | |
or Syria to support Islamist extremists, many of them aiming to | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
join the fighters of Islamic State. Some are as young as 16, often | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
travelling against the wishes of their parents, or without their | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
prior knowledge. One British convert to Islam says he can understand why | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
they go. He is careful to stay within the law in what he says but | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
the sentiment is unmistakable, if shocking to many who have seen the | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
violence meted out by Islamic State. It is government that implements | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
Sharia law, so by nature it will appeal to all Muslims worldwide. | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
There is not a country implementing Islamic knits totality, so now we | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
have this caliphate, I think you will see many Muslims wanting to | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
flock there and leave the insecurity they face in Muslim countries, as | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
well as in the West, and migrate there and live there peacefully | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
under Sharia law. At Friday prayers in Birmingham today, the imam is one | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
of many making clear that worshippers should not take part in | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
violence. He believes that mosques and evict -- and individual imams, | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
as well as the government here, sharers bonds ability to ensure that | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
British youngsters are not radicalised by groups such as | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
Islamic State. -- share responsibility. This is a version of | :07:37. | :07:42. | |
Islam we have never seen before. It is worse than Al-Qaeda, you could | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
say, to some extent. And of course, whether it is Al-Qaeda or ISIS or | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
the Taliban, they are all actually organisations which are based on | :07:53. | :08:01. | |
isolated ideology. The UK is home to just under 3 million Muslims, and | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
this is one of its biggest mosques in east London, hosting up to 8000 | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
worshippers every Friday. Here, too, the message was one of peace. | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
Over the years, the British government has tried many strategies | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
to stop young British Muslim men going to fight abroad, but | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
increasingly people here are saying that the Muslim community itself may | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
also have to do more to help prevent that process of radicalisation. Omar | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
is a postgraduate student. He believes it is up to all British | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
Muslims to act and to educate, and not keep quiet if they know of | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
youngsters being radicalised. I am also disappointed in our community | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
because there are some who would rather sweep it under the carpet. | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
Many Muslims would love to practice their religion peacefully, quietly, | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
with their own peaceful interpretation. And with that | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
silence, it only begets the evil that exists out there. The | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
government's prevent strategy aims to counter extremism online as well | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
as in real life am but it may need to look again at how best to engage | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
British Muslims against an enemy skill that reaching out to the young | :09:12. | :09:12. | |
and disaffected. Our security correspondent | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
Frank Gardner is with me. Are you getting any sense of a | :09:18. | :09:26. | |
breakthrough in finding out who murdered James Foley? There is an | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
intensive operation going on on both sides of the Atlantic to identify | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
him. The F B is leading the operation, the Federal bureau of | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
investigation, because it was an American citizen who appears to have | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
died at the hands of a British jihadist. They are sending an | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
additional team to Britain to join those investigating this. They are | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
sharing files. It is being done on several levels. There is a lot of | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
electronic intercept being looked at at the NSA, GCHQ are involved. They | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
will be looking at how the video was uploaded onto the internet. They | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
will be looking at people who have come back from there who might | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
possibly know the killer. They will be studying Facebook, social media, | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
etc, but they are keeping it very close to their chest. I do not get | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
the sense that they have had a breakthrough so far. Thank you. | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
NHS patients could soon be treated by a growing number | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
The Government wants the health service | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
in England to employ more of this grade of medic, who perform many of | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
the same roles as a junior doctor, but with fewer years of training. | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
Some patients' groups have expressed concern that physician associates | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
would be employed to cut costs at the expense of care. | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
Thanks for coming down. Meet Kate, examining a patient with an ear | :10:38. | :10:53. | |
infection. She does a range of medical work in a leading hospital. | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
She is not a doctor, but a physician associate, a job title which has | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
developed over the last decade. I wanted to work in a medical field, | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
to see patients, to treat patients and work with them on a daily basis. | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
And I liked the challenge of a new career within that area. So what | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
does her patient feel about his treatment? Well, if they are doing | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
the job that Kate has been doing, OK. I would say carry on doing it. | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
The government wants to expand the number of associates in England, | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
doubling the number of training places. So what does the role | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
involve? While a doctor has seven years training, a physician | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
associate needs a science or medical degree and two years training. A | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
doctor has overall responsible at Eva a patient. An associate can | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
carry out a simple examination, always under a doctor's supervision. | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
The theory is that associates can carry out tasks which gives senior | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
doctors more time to devote to more challenging responsibilities. The | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
consultants are freed up from more routine care, to really be able to | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
focus on those patients who need them the most, who have the most | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
complicated cases. But questions are being asked about how far the | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
process is going to go, and to what extent, if at all, standards of | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
patient care may be compromised and corners cut. Patient groups say that | :12:20. | :12:45. | |
physician associates are not currently regulated in the same way | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
as doctors, and they do have concerns. One of our fears is that | :12:48. | :12:47. | |
because money is tight, the powers that be are trying to find ways | :12:48. | :12:48. | |
around spending proper money on proper care. That is definitely one | :12:49. | :12:49. | |
of our worries. The government denies that boosting the number of | :12:50. | :12:49. | |
associates who work in GPs surgeries as well as hospitals will guide you | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
to standards, helping sustain care in the face of increasing demands on | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
doctor 's time is the aim. Hamas militants have killed 18 | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
people accused of helping Israel locate targets for air strikes | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
in Gaza. Seven of the men were killed | :13:05. | :13:05. | |
by masked gunmen outside a mosque. It comes a day after an Israeli | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
airstrike left three senior Hamas The strikes have continued today, | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
with Israel saying more rockets had Malaysia has held a national day | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
of mourning, as the bodies of 20 people who were on board flight | :13:15. | :13:28. | |
MH17, which was shot down in Ukraine The victims were given full state | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
honours, and a moment of silence was held on their arrival | :13:32. | :13:33. | |
in the capital, Kuala Lumpur, It had been a long journey home. | :13:34. | :13:49. | |
Five weeks after flight MH17 was shot down, the first of the 43 | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
Malaysian victims arrived at Kuala Lumpur Airport. That is how | :13:54. | :14:05. | |
difficult recovering and identifying the bodies has been. This has turned | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
into a national event. The procession, watched by hearses and | :14:11. | :14:11. | |
-- watched by politicians and diplomats, and broadcast across the | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
country. There have now been two major air disasters involving | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
Malaysia Airlines just four months apart. That is a lock for any | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
country to bear. This family have been bracing themselves to receive | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
the body. The 37-year-old mother of two was a flight attendant on the | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
plane. They are still adjusting to the fact that she has gone. She is | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
just my companion. We do everything together. So, yes, when she has gone | :14:36. | :14:47. | |
it is a total loss for me. Because she is the person I turn to when I | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
have problems. But there was some comfort in a community coming | :14:52. | :15:05. | |
together to say goodbye. A young son and her father have | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
together to say goodbye. A young son and waited to bury her but at least | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
now they can. We have witnessed a loss at a very personal level, as at | :15:15. | :15:16. | |
this funeral, but also on a much larger scale. This has been a | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
horribly unlucky year for Malaysia, one from which its national airline | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
at least will struggle to recover. Even as they mourn the dead, | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
Malaysians are asking questions. Why a civilian airliner on a routine | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
flight was shot out of the sky, and what on earth happened to that other | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
Malaysian airliner, which simply vanished? Jonathan head, BBC News, | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
Kuala Lumpur. Our top story: | :15:50. | :15:58. | |
The government rules out dialogue with Syria's President Assad in the | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
debate about tackling the extremists of Islamic State. | :16:06. | :16:07. | |
And the true cost of The boss of Formula One, Bernie | :16:08. | :16:29. | |
Eccleston, has given the BBC his first major interview since the end | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
of his bribery trial in Germany. He says he always believed he would | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
walk free and he wants to run the sport for as long as possible. | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
Bernie Eccleston went on trial in April, accused of bribing a German | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
banker to ensure F1 would be sold to a private equity company that would | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
keep him in charge. He walked free after paying tens of millions of | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
pounds to the German court to bring proceedings to a close. He has been | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
speaking to our chief sports correspondent, in Spa, in Belgium, | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
in advance of this weekend's Grand Prix. It may have cost him ?60 | :17:07. | :17:10. | |
million, today Bernie Eccleston was back holding court in the Formula | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
One paddock, clear of the cloud which had hung over his leadership | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
of the sport. Two weeks ago, the 83-year-old tycoon pulled off his | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
biggest deal to date, paying a settlement for a German bribery case | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
against him to be dropped. For months, he faced the threat of jail. | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
Today in the luxury motor home, from where he rules F1, he told me he was | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
as defiant as ever I am not scared of anything. Not even a ten-year | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
jail sentence? I was never bothered about that, I was sure it wouldn't | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
happen. Why did you feel the need to pay up to settle? Because there's a | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
system in Germany that allows you to do it. It allows you to settle | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
things If I had won, they would have appealed and it would have gone on | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
forever. He was accused of bribing a German banker over the sale of F1. | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
Eccleston insisted he was the victim of blackmail. In January he won a | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
High Court damages case. The judge ruled he paid a bribe and said he | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
was an unreliable witness. Then came the criminal trial in mu nij. He | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
paid the biggest settlement in German legal history. Although it is | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
impossible to imagine Formula One without Bernie Eccleston, his | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
remarkable reign had been in jeopardy. Ahead of this weekend's | :18:35. | :18:41. | |
Belgium Grand Prix here at Spa, the sport's most powerful man is back | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
firmly in the driving seat. He is one of the greatest survivors. This | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
man has been through everything really. Not just the case in | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
Germany. Other situations before. He has a remarkable survival sense. For | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
35 years eke has run the right -- Eccleston has run the rights. | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
Becoming a billionaire in the process and turning the sport into a | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
gleaming phenomenon. I want to do what I do for as long as I can. How | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
long do you think that could be? I've no idea. I haven't got a clue. | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
After a summer break, it was back to business as usual for F1 here. Mer | :19:18. | :19:27. | |
say di's British driver, Hamilton setting the pace. Behind the scenes, | :19:28. | :19:29. | |
only one man leads the way. South Yorkshire Police has accused | :19:30. | :19:40. | |
the BBC covering up its role of a raid on Sir Cliff Richard's home, by | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
officers investing an alleged historical sex offence, which the | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
star denies. BBC News had cameras at the scene. The BBC's | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
Director-General, Tony Hall, said BBC journalists acted appropriately. | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
Let's find out more from our correspondent who has been following | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
this. What can you tell us. This comes in a letter from the Chief | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
Constable of Yorkshire Police to Mr Vaz. Lord Hall has been called to | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
give evidence to that Select Committee. In it, it is said South | :20:16. | :20:23. | |
Yorkshire Police are unhappy about an analysis piece, where a BBC | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
journalist wrote the way this was handled appears to be a deliberate | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
attempt by police to ensure maximum coverage. That was not an | :20:31. | :20:38. | |
unreasonable inference to make. But, South Yorkshire Police say | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
using that phrase was heavily critical of them. They say it was an | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
attempt by the BBC to distance itself from what had taken place and | :20:46. | :20:50. | |
this key phrase, to cover up the fact that it had initiated contact | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
with the force about the story itself. The BBC made the first | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
approach. I asked South Yorkshire Police if they can explain how this | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
constitutes a cover-up, what was being withheld here. They have made | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
no further comment. They say we have to wait until 2nd September in that | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
Select Committee hearing. Thank you. Campaigners say the tradition of | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
giving a wedding dowry is causing domestic violence among families in | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
Britain. It is a of common practise among Sikhs, Hindus, Muslims, | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
Christians and bud hiss and in India is blamed ford the death of | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
thousands of women every year. Now a leading British lawyer says the | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
custom of dowry should be banned here. Shaimaa Khalil has this | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
special report. It may be a glamorous start to | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
married life, but there is the hefty financial burden for many British | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
Asian families with girls. The dowry. | :21:49. | :21:51. | |
A tradition that started as a parental wedding gift to the | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
daughter has become a transaction between two families. | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
The becomes a pawn, a victim in a destructive struggle, fuelled by | :22:02. | :22:04. | |
greed. This transaction can turn sour. | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
Especially if the husband's family come under financial strain and put | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
pressure on the wife for more money. The dowry may then lead to violence. | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
After being abused and mistreated for months by her in-laws this woman | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
managed to escape. She lives in fear of reprisals from them and does not | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
want to be identified. For the first time, she has agreed to tell us her | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
story. I think it was all about dowry, honestly. I got to know their | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
intentions. They don't want me. They want me for money. I was put in a | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
situation where I had nowhere else to go and my husband went violent. | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
His sisters, one by one, they started hitting me. That was the | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
worst experience of my life. And something I would never imagine | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
would happen to me. Despite being banned in countries | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
like India, the tradition of dowry is very much engrained in Asian | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
society, whether here, in the UK or the subcontinent. For the bribe's | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
company it is about honour and saving face in the community. For | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
the groom's family it is about acquiring wealth and social status. | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
So far, there's been little focus on the issue of dowry violence. But | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
campaigners who work with vulnerable women say it is a growing problem | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
here in the UK. It is a hidden practise. People | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
don't speak out about it. The impact it has on women are they are usually | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
subject to severe violence and emotional abuse. They are left | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
financially destitute and have no access to support. They are often | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
isolated and don't know where to go to get help. These women find it | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
nearly impossible to acts of justice. Leading lawyers are of the | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
view that the legal system is failing them. Some are calling for | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
the tradition of dowry to be banned all together. The clearest message | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
is prohibition, making it unlawful, just as we have made unlawful, quite | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
rightly so, forced marriages. Dowries and the monetary aspect of | :24:02. | :24:09. | |
dowries is utterly wrong. Women equals. Despite the damage dowry | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
violence has done to her mentally and physically, this woman is trying | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
to piece her life back together. Deep down inside I am angry. I find | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
it very hard to cry as well. Things are OK now. Campaigners say the | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
abuse of dowry turns women into cheap bribes. Their hopes for a | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
happy married life, shattered by an ancient tradition. | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
Now, it has probably the most famous theme tune of any television | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
programme. Its presenters, David Coleman, Jimmy Hill, Des Lynam | :24:47. | :24:52. | |
become household names. The voices of the commentators a feature of | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
Saturday evening at home. Today, Match Of The Day turns 50. Natalie | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
Pirks looks back at half a century of a programme which became an | :25:01. | :25:07. | |
institution. The tune and the titles have been | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
tweaked over the years. But the chills remain. For football | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
lovers this melody has been a staple of Saturday nights. It was one of | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
the things that I was always allowed to actually do by my parents. They | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
always let me watch Match Of The Day. The format has been simple - | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
the day's top matches, cut down into highlights, with chat between. If it | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
ain't broke... You can watch all the live football in the world, but to | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
get that fix in an hour-and-a-half of everything that pretty much | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
happens on that day, it really does work. | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
Welcome to Match Of The Day - the first of a weekly series coming to | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
you every Saturday on BBC Two. Match Of The Day began life as a | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
pre-recorded show in 1964. The fishss t goal broadcast was | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
Liverpool against Arsenal. -- first. | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
Good evening... Then raft of famous presenters have brought their own | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
charm to the. Sorry about the noise! And then there are the commentators. | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
That is absolutely phenomenal! One of the most famous voices | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
returns for a one-off commentary tomorrow, ten years after his | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
retirement. In this digital age, fans can now watch goals almost | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
instantly, anywhere, any how. But Barry Davis says the show remains an | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
appointment to view television. It is the comfort that people feel. | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
They know they have got the package. It is true, they try not to know the | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
result of other matches. They go home and watch. There are other | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
places they can watch. They know they can get all the scores while in | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
the ground, let alone when they leave the ground. | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
50 years may have passed, but it seems the same arguments rage. If | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
anyone is still trying to tell you that football was far better 10-40 | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
years ago, just very politely say to them, "Nonsense! " As long the goals | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
give us goose bumps, Match Of The Day will remain a broadcasting | :27:14. | :27:16. | |
institution. See you next Saturday. Good night! | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
Well, that was Natalie Pirks reporting. There's more. You can see | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
a special programme tonight - Match Of The Day at 50. That is at 10. | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
30pm here on BBC One this evening. If you are in Northern Ireland, that | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
is at 10. 10.50pm. Right now though, it is time for a | :27:33. | :27:34. | |
look at the weather prospects. We have made it to the weekend and | :27:35. | :27:45. | |
for many with an extended bank holiday on Monday. Still an autumnal | :27:46. | :27:50. | |
feel. Monday could be a different story w the potential for wet and | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
windy weather to move across the British Isles. Here we are this | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
evening w a quiet evening ahead. Still some showers over England. | :27:59. | :28:02. | |
Most are fading out during the small hours. Another cluster running into | :28:03. | :28:06. | |
the Liverpool bay area, across to the north Midlands. Elsewhere, | :28:07. | :28:12. | |
typically clear skies and temperatures sliding away to give us | :28:13. | :28:15. | |
a chilly feel to get Saturday under way. A lot of sunshine from the | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
outset. Saturday, all in all, not a bad day. The best of the sunshine | :28:20. | :28:23. | |
likely to be to the west of the British Isles. For eastern areas, | :28:24. | :28:28. | |
showers, potentially the odd thundery one. | :28:29. | :28:33. | |
Still some decent sunshine between those showers. The showers clear | :28:34. | :28:38. | |
quite quickly through Saturday evening. Watch the winds, there is | :28:39. | :28:43. | |
barely an arrow. Saturday night into Sunday could be | :28:44. | :28:46. | |
pretty exceptional for August - pretty in terms of the temperatures | :28:47. | :28:51. | |
tumbling away into single figures. We could even see a touch of frost. | :28:52. | :28:56. | |
Sunday we will get off to a chilly start, but a bright one, thanks to | :28:57. | :29:01. | |
clear skies. A chance to the west of more cloud later on in the day. That | :29:02. | :29:06. | |
could cap the temperatures a little. We will see the cloud replaced by | :29:07. | :29:11. | |
rain into Monday. Weather systems which will push their way across the | :29:12. | :29:15. | |
British Isles on Monday. Still some question marks as to exactly where | :29:16. | :29:19. | |
the wettest weather will be. At the moment it looks like Scotland will | :29:20. | :29:23. | |
be brightest and driest. Thank you. And that is it. Now we | :29:24. | :29:30. | |
join the | :29:31. | :29:31. |
